Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Salt Lake City to Norfolk. Both sides score equally for the full flight, but the right side edges ahead due to the superior landing experience. Norfolk's approach over Hampton Roads harbor and the Elizabeth River estuary provides more dramatic coastal and maritime scenery during descent than Salt Lake City's takeoff, which, while featuring the Wasatch Range, is brief before climbing into cruise altitude over relatively flat terrain. The right side captures the most visually distinctive moment of the journey.

During takeoff from Salt Lake City International (SLC), sit on the Left side for the best views. Salt Lake City sits in a dramatic basin surrounded by the Wasatch Range to the east and the Oquirrh Mountains to the west. Left-side departures heading eastbound initially offer views of these peaks and the Great Salt Lake's northern arm before climbing out over the Wasatch Front. Notable sights include: Great Salt Lake (northern portion), Wasatch Range peaks, Oquirrh Mountains, Salt Lake City urban grid.

When landing at Norfolk International (ORF), sit on the Right side for the best views. Norfolk International's approach from the west crosses the Virginia Piedmont and then the coastal plain, with views of the James River estuary and Hampton Roads harbor. Right-side descents offer views of the Elizabeth River, naval installations, and the Atlantic coastline as the aircraft descends into the final approach corridor. Notable sights include: Hampton Roads harbor, Elizabeth River, James River estuary, Atlantic coastline near Norfolk.

The flight from Salt Lake City International (SLC) to Norfolk International (ORF) takes 4h 45m.

The flight path crosses the Wasatch Range immediately after departure, then traverses the high desert plateau of Utah and Wyoming (Great Basin and Green River Basin), passes over the Rocky Mountains in central Wyoming (including the Wind River Range and Laramie Range), descends into the Great Plains of Nebraska and Kansas, crosses the Mississippi River valley in Missouri or Illinois, and enters the Appalachian foothills of West Virginia and Virginia before descending toward the Atlantic coastal plain and Norfolk.
